The exterior of Hope Plaza outpatient cancer care center

City of Hope^® is proud to open Hope Plaza. The new outpatient center will provide future-focused care in a healing, patient-centered environment. We invite you to be a part of this extraordinary milestone through a gift supporting our lifesaving mission.

A doorway to more hope

Breakthroughs in cancer research have enabled a landmark transformation: Outpatient care is now the standard for most patients, replacing lengthy hospital stays away from loved ones. To optimize this transformation, City of Hope is opening Hope Plaza in early 2025, an outpatient cancer center that makes it easier than ever for patients to access early screening programs, clinical trials and specialty clinics. Hope Plaza is our new gateway to healing.

A vision realized

At eight stories tall and 350,000 square feet, Hope Plaza offers an abundance of outpatient services, including infusion spaces with stirring views of the San Gabriel Mountains and an expanded clinical research unit for patients to receive the newest cellular therapies. Here also is improved facilities for pain management, nutrition and other services that improve a patient's recovery. This extraordinary center also boasts the highest standards of energy efficiency and environmentally friendly design. Hope Plaza is a dynamic, healing space that matches the innovations City of Hope is making in care.

Convenient access for patients and families

In the welcoming lobby, hope feels more real. With the building’s textures, colors and lighting, every detail is designed to help families navigate the physical, emotional and spiritual challenges of a cancer diagnosis. On the first floor is a café of healthy food and a pharmacy to easily complete the day’s therapies and consultations. Past the sunlit lobby are 32 blood draw stations and a lab to process samples much faster than when they had to be transported elsewhere on campus. Hope Plaza literally saves steps in the journey back to health.

Chemotherapy is vital to many patients’ treatment and recovery — but the treatment time is often lengthy. Hope Plaza consolidates City of Hope’s infusion services into 88 infusion bays with open, stunning views of the San Gabriel Mountains.
